[SET COMMENTS]
<p>This Mismagius set aims to defeat the most common leads in UU, Uxie, Mesprit, Omastar, and Cloyster. The combination of Taunt and Will-O-Wisp allows Mismagius to function as a stallbreaker later in the match. Will-O-Wisp is also a valuable asset against offensive teams; you can often cripple their physical sweeper or defensive pivot, thus opening them up for a sweep. Taunt, combined with Mismagius' base 105 Speed, will often prevent Stealth Rock from being set up by the opposing lead. This means that Pokémon who have a weakness to Stealth Rock are good partners for this Mismagius. Choice Band Scyther in particular is a great partner; Mismagius not only prevents Stealth Rock, but can also cripple Pokemon that Scyther cannot beat, such as Registeel.</p>

<p>Shadow Ball is used for a solid STAB move, and its power can allow Mismagius to run through many offensive teams. Thunderbolt is used to do the most possible damage to bulky Water- and Flying-types like Milotic and Moltres. The EVs are simple - anything less than max Speed and you lose to a multitude of threats, such as Scyther, Manectric, and opposing Mismagius. Maximum Special Attack allows Mismagius to deal the most possible damage before fainting.</p>

[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
<p>Destiny Bond can be used over Will-O-Wisp to get a surprise KO after Mismagius is weakened. Sacrificing Mismagius for a KO can also help when an offensive or defensive Pokemon is threatening your team. Leftovers can be used over Life Orb if you want Mismagius to last longer, since it will still 2HKO most leads; however, the power is preferred in most cases. Another possible option is to run Hidden Power Ground to do more damage to Steelix, Registeel, and Aggron, but Will-O-Wisp can usually handle those threats.</p>

<p>Mismagius has a lot of mid- to late-game utility. Many times Mismagius can Will-O-Wisp its counters to cripple them and proceed to sweep late-game once they are sufficiently weakened. Mid-game, Mismagius can also be used to punch holes in the opponent's defenses. Mismagius shares counters with Pokemon like Alakazam, so if you manage to cripple the opponent's Milotic or Spiritomb with Mismagius, they can be in trouble.</p>

i'd like to thank jesus for giving me this opportunity
 
Mismagius is a great lead that I love, and the set looks good. Maybe slash in Destiny Bond over WoW as an option, I've been using that and it works decently with Missy's speed.
Oh and I would mention pokemon that enjoy Stealth Rock not being up, especially Scyther. Missy is a great at Taunting lead SRers (Uxie & Mesprit, who run away half the time, as Oma, Cloyster and Kabutops are all Taunted and 2KOd. The other main user, Registeel, loves to come in on Missy and then promptly get Taunted).
 
-a set shunned and bashed by me when folgorio used it a lot. however, i've grown to love this lead. destiny bond definitely needs a slash -- possibly over wow as main option. destroys tomb and registeel to name a few, opening up easy sweeps for someone like cm alakazam. this stuff is particulary good with cb scyther and lo moltres due to the ability to shut down sr leads at the start of the match.
 
This is good.

I feel that Destiny Bond should be the primary option. It helps differentiate you from the faster Taunt + 3 Attacks Alakazam.
 
Ok I've used it and it's very good. Only thing I really got to add is that WoW should stay as the main move, because this calls out Registeel/CB Tomb and crippling them is easier that way than with DBond (which isn't very hard to work around when missy gotta predict every Taunt perfectly).
 
I run into this before and it's pretty effective, although it's pretty prediction-reliant if you're opting for Destiny Bond. I agree with Bloo in that Will o Wisp should be the primary option.

grr im pretty sure i was the first person to use/make this -.-

Anyway i seriously think that leftovers should be slashed. You already 2hko basically all commonly used leads (uxie/mesprit/moltres/omastar/qwilfish/cloyster) so the extra power is kind of unnecessary imo and lefties really add to missy's survivability. Something i also tried to decent success was hp ground over t-bolt since it hit some stuff that would normally wall the set(houndoom/steelix/drapion/registeel/aggron) so maybe it could be mentioned somewhere.

<p>This Mismagius set aims to defeat the most common leads in UU; Leads like Uxie, Mesprit, Omastar, and Cloyster are beaten handily by Mismagius. The combination of Taunt and Will-O-Wisp allows Mismagius to function as a stall breaker later in the match. Will-O-Wisp is also a valuable asset against offensive teams; you can often cripple their physical sweeper or their defensive pivot, thus opening them up to a sweep.

This means that Pokèmon that who have a weakness to Stealth Rock are good partners for this Mismagius. Choice Band Scyther in particular is a great partner; Mismagius can not only prevents Stealth Rocks from getting up, but it can also cripple Pokèmon that Scyther is normally weak to, such as Registeel.</p>

<p>Shadow Ball is obviously there used for a the solid STAB move, and its power can allow Mismagius to run through many offense teams. Thunderbolt is used to do the most possible damage to bulky Water- and Flying-types, like Milotic and Moltres respectively. The EVs are simple - anything less than max Speed and you lose out to a multitude of threats, such as Scyther, Manectric, and opposing Mismagius. Maximum Special Attack allows you to deal the most possible damage before fainting. Timid functions the same purpose as maximum Speed; to prevent Mismagius from being outsped and killed. often, if you are outsped, you will lose your Mismagius.</p>

<p>Destiny Bond can be used over Will-O-Wisp to get a surprise KO after you are weakened. Defensive Pokèmon like Registeel or Spiritomb will try to come in and nab a KO, while you just Destiny Bond for the kill to open up a hole in their defense. Sacrificing Mismagium for a KO It can also help when against an both offensive and defensive Pokèmon is threatening your team to go to Mismagius and launch a dual-KO. Leftovers can be used over Life Orb if you want Mismagius to last longer, since it will still 2HKO most leads, however the power is preferred in most cases. Another possible option is to run Hidden Power [Ground] to do more damage to Steelix, Registeel, and Aggron, but Will-O-Wisp can handle usually handle these threats.</p>

<p>Mismagius has a lot of use mid to late game, as well as being able to function as a clean up Pokèmon. Many times you can Will-o-Wisp its counters to cripple them, and proceed to sweep late game once they are sufficiently weakened. Mid game, Mismagius can also be used to punch holes in the opponent's defense in the mid game.

All of the times you have "Pokemon" written, the accent is facing the wrong way, which I didn't fix because I wasn't sure if you just wanted to take out the accents or change them. Other then that, it was pretty good, most of it was just prose.
 
Kind of minor, but with Leftovers slashed, it probably shouldn't be called "Life Orb Lead" anymore. I believe it's Mismagius' only lead set, so "Lead" should be fine.

GP check 1
 
Just as a quick comment, the opening paragraph reads a bit too much like a laundry list (short choppy sentences, no flow, jumping from topic to topic). Other than that great analysis.
 
this hasn’t been updated since the last GP check but it’s just one set so I don’t see the point in waiting.

check on top of jc104’s. key (if it’s confusing just ask me on IRC):

this is jc104’s add
this is jc104’s delete
this is my add
this is my delete

edit: I have no idea why it's splitting the first hide tag into two. I keep fixing it and it keeps breaking.
